Patient's question:
An elderly person, 73 years old, has a uterine tumor. How should it be treated? Can surgery still be performed? It is about the size of a peach.Doctor's answer:
Hello, as long as the physical examination is normal and the electrocardiogram and lung X-ray show no abnormalities, surgery can be performed. Based on age, a total hysterectomy is generally performed. You should visit a regular hospital's gynecology department. A hysterectomy is a routine surgery, so there is no need to worry. Before surgery, eat easily digestible foods. After menopause, the uterus will shrink, and if there are no discomforts, surgery is not necessary. Regular check-ups are sufficient. Avoid spicy, stimulating seafood, and cold foods.
